THere was a Declaration published by Order of both Houses of Parliament setting forth the present condition of this kingdom That his Majesty by advice and assistance of the evill and wicked counsell about him hath raised an Army which are maintained with the spoyls of the Kings subjects giving them leave to exact monies by force plunder spoyl all sorts of people That this evil counsel doth not only hinder his Majesty from exercising the Iustice of a King towards his people but even that honour which is observed betwixt enemies That Sir Io. Hinderson a Papist one of the Kings party laboured with one David Alexander a Scothman to kill Sir Iohn Hotham but hee refusing his Maiesty sent twice for him to Beverly and when he came had publike talke with him and gave him a summe of money which he received That the said Sir Iohn Hinderson also conspired with the said Alexander to fire the Lord Generals Magazine but by great providence was prevented That such of the Trained Bands as refuse to serve his Maiesty have their Armes taken from them and that the Cavaliers by their cruell oppressions have so exhausted those Parts where his Maiesty hath been that they now perswade him to march towards London that so they might make the like spoyle in all those fruitfull Countryes in the way and satisfie their long expected hopes out of the rich wealth of the City of London To prevent all which miseries and dangers the Parliament doe conceive it fitting that good provision be made by loane and contribution to maintaine the Lord Generalls Army and that that Army doe alwayes attend the removes of the Kings Army to prevent them in their spoyles of the Country That those Countrys through which the Kings Army doth passe doe associate themselves and draw all their Forces together for their own defence according to the direction of their Deputy-Lievtenants and other Officers And that they have Powder Munition and Ordnance in readinesse upon all occasions That all those who in the City of London or else where shall weare any of the Kings Colours shall be examined and disarmed As also in that Declaration the Houses make severall excellent Queries concerning the grounds of this warre the result whereof in short is That it is not feare of some Innovation or alteration in Religion or Church Government that hath occasioned this warre for that the Parliament have fully declared that they intend to take away nothing but the Government of Bishops which have been so evidently mischievous and dangerous to the Church and State Nor is it to uphold the authority Prerogative and honour of the King as is so vainely alleadged by them But the true cause and matter of the quarrell is That Priests and Iesuites may domineere and govern in the Kings councell as formerly That the Bishops may suppresse powerfull preaching and introduce the Popish Religion under colour of the Protestant profession That the Earle of Bristoll Lord Digby Master Iermyn and other Traytors may govern the affaires of State and be distributers of Preferments That Delinquents may escape the Iustice of Parliament and triumph in the spoyles of honest men That through our troubles the Rebels in Ireland may prevaile That We may cease to be a free Nation and become the obiect of cru●lty and oppression at home and of scorne and infamy abroad c. With this Declaration there were certaine Votes published resolved upon the Question by both Houses of Parliament viz. That such persons as shall not contribute to the charge of the Common-wealth in this time of imminent necessity shall bee disarmed and their persons secured That the Fines Rents and Profits of Arch-Bishops Bishops Deans and Chapters and such notorious Delinquents who have taken up Armes against the Parliament or have been active in the Commission of Array shall bee sequestred for the service of the Common-wealth That the Kings revenue rising out of Rents Fines in Courts of Iustice compositions for Wards and all other his Maiesties reve●ues shall be paid into the usuall places of receipt but not issued forth or paid out but by order of Parliament There was also a Declaration published by order of the House subscribed by Colonell Sandis at the Randevouz at Worcester Octob. 11. in vindication of himselfe from those calumnious a persions cast upon him by the letters of the Lord Faukland and Secretary Nicholas who write that he was dead and a little before his death should say That death did not so much trouble him as that he had endeavoured to defend so bad a cause which he was drawne unto as well by his own ambition as by perswasions of others and that hee wished that all the Actions of the Parliaments Forces might hereafter prove unsuccesfull desiring God and the King w●uld so g●ve him for his great sin of Rebellion To which words the Colonell doth seriously pro●●●t that the apprehension of death did never so nearly touch him but that if God sh●ll ●nce restore his strength which in good measure he hath already done he will with as ●●ch alacrity and courage endevour to maintaine the cause hee hath undertaken with his dearest blood as ever he did nor was hee drawn into it by ambition or other perswasions the● s●ch as w re backed by the best of Arguments namely Religion the houour and security of the King the priviledge of Parliament and liberty of the subiect And that in his grea●est danger of death his conscience did clear him from the guilt of Rebellion or tumultuous thoughts And that the chiefest motive which carried him on to this Action was loyalty to hi● Soveraign and love to hi● Religion and Country c. By Letters from Cornwall it was informed that Sir Ralph Hopton with his Accomplices in Pendennis Castle hath made great spoyle in pillaging and plundering the Countrey that Sir Bevill Grevill Sir Nicholas Slany Sir Rich. Vivian and Master Arundell all Array men are th● chiefe Confederates and amongst them have raised about 2000 men which pu●s ●he Country into great feare that th●y have possessed themselves of Lanceston and Salt Ash and are now bending their Forces against Barnestable in Devonshire but they have provided themselves well against them by the meanes of Master Perd a Member of the House of Commons and have moun●ed 16. Peeces of Ordnance to defend the Towne

evidences the Parl. are fully convinced that the Kings Counsels resolutions are so engaged to the Popish party that all hopes of peace are excluded and that it is intended to give satisfaction to the Papists by the altering of Religion to the Cavalleers and other souldiers by exposing the wealth of the Kingdom to be sackt plundered by them That for the better effecting hereof great numbers of Papists have of late in shew conformed themselves to the Protestant Religion by comming to Church taking the Oaths of Allegeance Supremacy which their own Priesis have encouraged them to do And that at first his Maiesty would not seem to entertain any Papists in his Army But now Commissions have bin granted to raise an army of Papists Prests Iesuits have bin released out of prison All which is contrary to his Majesties solemn Oathes Protestations execrations so often taken to maintain Religion and the Lawes of the Land That Sir Io. Hinderson Collouell Cockram are sent to Hamburgh and Denmark to raise Forces for the King and that divers of the Rebels in Ireland named are about his Maiesty And divers others accused of Treason by this Parliament as the Lord Digby O-Neale Wilmot Pollard Ashbornham and others That divers Priests and Iesuites in forraign parts make great collections of money to further his Maiesties designes against the Parliament and great meanes are made to take up the differences betwixt some Princes of the Roman Religion that so they might ioyne their Force for the extirpation of the Protestant Religion in this Kingdome For all which reasons both houses doe declare That they will enter into a solemn Oath and Covenant with God to defend this cause with their lives and fortunes against the Kings Army and all of that party shall ioyn with them in this wicked design And that the parliament will Associate themselves and unite with the City of London and all other of his Maiesties Dominions to the end aforesaid And lastly the parliament doe declare that they doe expect our brethren of Scotland according to the Act of pacification will also ioyn with them in the said cause c. There was also a letter published by Order of the House sent from M. Copley Muster-Master Generall to the Earle of Essex Army who was sent by his Excellency to the Earl of Dorset the second time to move his Maiesty to receive the petition of the Houses by which letter the former passages of his Maiesties refusing to receive the petition is confirmed wherein is also set forth the desperate and wicked carriage of the Cavalleers about his Maiesty exclaiming against the parliament and all that seem well affected to them and sware heavie oathes that they have now taken a course with those Lords about the King that would not comply with them and have lockt up his Maiesties eares and tongue that he will neither heare nor speak to them and that the Earle of Dorset and some others were treacherous and cowardly and did discover the Kings intentions but now the King had learnt to keep his Councels from them and gave out other vile and approbious speeches swearing that they would neither give nor take quarter By an expresse from the Army it was informed that the King had left Coventry and lay the last night at Southam and intends to go this day to Banbury That the Lord Generall it marching close after his Maiesty and is within ten miles of him the Lord Generall once more desiring the Parliament that they would take care for the securing of the malignants in London in case his Maiesty should come that way This afternoone there were six of the Lords and twelve of the Commons met the City of London at a Common-Councell in Guild-hall and tendered them the oath of Association to be taken throughout the Kingdom The Earle of Northumberland made a Speech to the City declaring the cause of their comming and after him Mr Pym read the houses Declaration concerning the Oath of Association and the Oath it selfe and made a short Speech concerning it And after him the Earle of Holland made a most excellent and learned Speech with divers reasons and demonstrations exciting the City to the said businesse the Citezens were much taken with his brave expressions And the proposition was most cheerefully embraced by the City Munday the 24. of October THere was a Letter published which was written by one Master Tempest a Papist to his Brother an Officer in the Kings Army which Letter was intercepted and shewed to the Parlia●●nt The letter expressed divers scandalous relations and some truths viz.
